In this episode of Leadership Powered by Common Sense, Doug Thorpe sits down with Kelly Resendez — entrepreneur, executive, published author, and co-owner of Go Abundance Women — to explore why the most powerful leadership strategy isn't a new framework or productivity hack. It's doing the inner work first. Kelly shares her journey from being a top 1% loan officer driven by significance and stress to becoming a leader grounded in self-awareness, emotional stability, and intentional growth. Together, they dig into why most leaders have never paused to define who they actually want to be, how attachment styles and love languages play out in the workplace, and why going deep on one skill per quarter beats chasing ten things at once. From the concept of a leader's "owner's manual" to the irreplaceable power of human connection in an AI-driven world, this conversation is a down-to-earth reminder that how you lead others starts with how you lead yourself.
